Does anyone else find it a bit weird how much this is playing out in public with all the detail about our second gif leaked? Doesn’t seem our style, unless Leicester are trying to flush out other bidders. 

I hope it’s a funny gif tbh

Or Madison's agent wanting a better contract

[Gemmill 49528]

Leicester want Dubravka apparently. That's the straight dope from Craig Hope.

Edited. Fucking autocorrect 😬

It's coming from Brenda surly?  

If they're fucked by FFP I dont get it.  They havent spent that much recently have they?  Have they been helping Vardy with the Wagatha Christie fees?

If Dubravka's going to be unhappy being number 2 then we may as well use him as a make weight. Fair play to the guy on twitter who raised this as a possibility last night. Not exactly the hardest math of course, we want Maddison, we don't want to pay over a certain amount, and Schmeichel is away to France.  

[Dr Gloom 23443]

If we can get Maddison we will have our first genuinely exciting number 10/playmaker style attacking midfielder since…I’m struggling to think, it’s been that long. Beardsley maybe!?

 

I wonder if we put all our eggs in the Maddison basket then we will drop the search for a out and out winger and instead go for a forward such as Werner who can cover CF and play out wide

beings us back to the problem of Darlow being our second choice again though 

[Polarboy 2317]

Looking like Werner will go to Leipzig, so I'd imagine we'll up our interest in Cornet, who of course can also play wide and centre forward, although obviously he less potential quality, and isn't as natural a centre forward as an in form Werner. 

[wykikitoon 22614]

Maddison in and it's a good window. 

 

Maddison and Cornet is a great window imo

Yeah but it's not as if keepers get injured all that often, so we'd cope until January at least, if it's too late to bring in a promising understudy to Pope. And again if Dubravka isn't happy playing second fiddle to Pope then there isn't much point keeping him.

Game 1 of the season, just watch  

[wykikitoon 22614]

I think the kids call this lad a 'melt' or 'gammon'

 

Me. I just say thick cunt

 

 

[Gemmill 49528]

Gonna be good fun finishing above them as a matter of routine fairly soon. 

[Gemmill 49528]

 

 

Feels like if/when they get the Fofana money, they might not feel they need to sell Maddison. We need to get this wrapped up quick if we can.

Just another one of the many who need a bit of time getting used to the new order of things. As I like to say:

 

[Polarboy 2317]

Fofana's only signed a contract recently, so Leicester have a lot more negotiating power on him. And surely even Chelsea would have to think twice about spending 80m on one player when they've already spent 85m this window on Sterling and Koulibaly. Of course it could be wishful thinking on my part, but there is a least some logic to the aforementioned.

[wykikitoon 22614]

Get him signed for an unveiling at the Forest game IMO. Would have been nice to have him to play in it. 

 

 

[Polarboy 2317]

I've defended 90minutes before and cited their early breaking of the Ekitike saga, but I've revised that opinion to them being clickbait wind up merchants 😂 They don't mention Dubravka in the article, so perhaps they did reject the bid, but we've said alright how about we throw in Dubravka.

it would be a proper statement signing but so would Paqueta - and he apparently would cost a lot less

[Polarboy 2317]

Craig Hope is also running with the Cucurella story of Chelsea beating Man City with a 50m bid. It seems highly implausible that Chelsea will pay 50 for him and then another 80m Fofana. If they do it makes a total mockery of FFP.
